Chapter 1,340 Fifty thousand tons of steel to open up European and American markets
Chen Yuyu looked at the 10,000-word transformation plan and was confused. After reading it for more than a minute, he felt like he was going to suffer from "intensive phobia".
Xu Banxia looked at it carefully and had a lot of doubts about the plan:
"Husband, why do you want to open up the European and American markets first instead of the domestic market? Isn't it easier to open up the domestic market first?"
"This is because 'foreign monks can chant sutras'!"
Su Mingzhe smiled lightly and explained:
"We will first travel around Europe and the United States with our products. We don't want to be well-known abroad. At least we will sponsor a few selection activities, and then win a few international awards. With the support of international awards, we will then in turn promote our products domestically. It’s much easier to promote it…”
"Brother Su, you still have an idea!"
When Chen Yuyu heard Su Mingzhe's plan, his little eyes widened and he gave Su Mingzhe a thumbs up.
Xu Banxia also suddenly realized:
"This is just like those 'turtles'. No matter whether they have learned anything abroad or not, as long as they get a certificate outside, it will be recognized in China!"
Xu Banxia's mind was still very flexible, and then he asked a few more questions, and Su Mingzhe explained them carefully.
Soon, the plan for the transformation of Shinhwa Group was unanimously approved by the three major shareholders.
The next day, Shinhwa Group held a senior management meeting.
As usual, each branch will report first.
When other branch offices reported, they were all quite satisfactory, with no bright spots, but no mistakes.
When the steel plant director finished his report, Su Mingzhe frowned and said:
"The price of the 50,000 tons of Siberian steel you mentioned is too high, 350 yuan per ton. The unit price of shipping it back is at least 700 yuan. For our Shinhwa Group, there is almost no profit! Next topic …”
While Su Mingzhe was pulling Xu Banxia, Chen Yuyu was busy transforming Shinhwa Group and finding new profit points.
Wu Jianshe, Tian Ling, Qiu Bizheng and others from Lucheng made a mess in order to make up for the shortfall of the real estate project in Hainan Island.
On this day, several people attended an entrepreneur meeting in a steel market in the province.
Wu Jianshe called a few business partners and said with joy on his face:
"Recently, I have a way to import 50,000 tons of steel from Siberia for only 350 yuan per ton. Including customs clearance and other fees, the cost of shipping it back to the country is about 700 yuan per ton. The current domestic steel market You also know the price, one thousand four hundred yuan per ton, one trip back and forth can double the price. Do you want to join in, some old brothers?"
Tian Ling, Feng Yu and Qiu Bizheng were overjoyed when they heard this:
"Brother Wu, you saved our lives!"
…
It's April in the blink of an eye.
The first ray of morning light passes through the glass window and shines on the bed, making people feel warm and cozy.
Waking up from his sleep, Shen Mo felt so lazy that he didn't even bother to open his eyes.
After a while, Shen Mo suddenly woke up from the fright when he reached out and couldn't touch the man.
Opening his eyes, he looked at his originally clean and tidy bedroom, which was now a mess. Four or five pairs of silver, white, and black stockings were randomly thrown on the carpet, and two skirts had their shoulder straps torn.
Hmm? What about men?
Shen Mo didn't bother to clean up the messy bedroom, just put on a nightgown and stumbled downstairs.
When she came all the way downstairs, she saw the man making breakfast in the kitchen, and emotions of excitement, joy, and grievance all came to her heart.
Shen Mo stumbled and ran to the man's side. Shen Mo directly hugged the man's waist and began to sob softly.
"What's wrong?"
Su Mingzhe was still making breakfast, but with the girl hugging him, it was a bit inconvenient for him to turn around and cook.
"I just had a dream that you went abroad, and then I woke up and didn't see you..."
When Su Mingzhe heard the girl's words, he knew that she was thinking about it day by day and dreaming about it at night.
In a few days, he will indeed go abroad.
This time, I not only want to go to Moscow, but also visit Europe and the United States.
Even if everything goes well, it will take at least four or five months to come back.
Knowing that the man would be gone for a long time, Shen Mo tried his best last night to make the man happy.
Last night, Shen Mo had wronged himself a lot in order to satisfy the man. Today, Su Mingzhe got up early to make love breakfast, also wanting to make up for it to the girl. Unexpectedly, he even scared the girl.
"Don't worry, Mo Mo, I will stay in Lucheng for these two days and I won't leave!"
Su Mingzhe put his arms around the girl and comforted her softly for a while.
After Shen Mo calmed down, Su Mingzhe let the girl hold him like an octopus and went to the living room to prepare for dinner.
After a simple breakfast, Su Mingzhe suddenly smiled and said:
"Actually, we don't have to meet each other four or five months apart. Mo Mo, after you fill out your application form after the college entrance examination, you can sign up for a tour group and come to Europe to see me..."
"That will take more than three months."
Shen Mo was sitting obediently in the man's arms at the moment, with the word "reluctance" written all over his face.
"Actually, I'm not here just in time. You can review your homework carefully during these three months and try to get into a good university."
Su Mingzhe comforted and remained silent for a while, and then began to give instructions on what to pay attention to when taking the college entrance examination.
In the TV series, Shen Mo only took the exam of Hualin City Health Vocational School.
I don’t know what Shen Mo will do in this college entrance examination.
In the next two days, Su Mingzhe stayed with Shen Mo.
For this reason, Shen Mo also took two days off and did not go to school.
Mid April.
Su Mingzhe flew to Moscow.
After several years of cooperation, Su Mingzhe's foreign trade company has developed and has more than 100 formal employees.
Among them, the foreign trade company has also set up a branch office in Moscow.
Because there was no settlement issue in the transaction between Su Mingzhe and Muralov, this office only needs to keep an eye on the goods and be responsible for reporting the transaction status.
On the other hand, over in Harbin, Su Mingzhe opened a branch of a foreign trade company, and he, Xu Banxia, and Chen Yuyu would go there in person to settle the payment.
Under Muralov's warm hospitality, Su Mingzhe stayed in Moscow for a week and had quite a good time.
Late April.
Su Mingzhe rushed to Paris, met with French Rose, and signed an endorsement contract.
The influence of "French Rose" in France and even Europe in the 1980s and 1990s was roughly similar to Liu Tianxian's influence in China at the beginning of the century, with an unparalleled number of fans and a relatively good fashion celebrity status.
Originally, Sophie's high status also meant that her endorsement fees were high.
However, Su Mingzhe asked some friends to help make an appointment, and Sophie's agent asked for a symbolic fee of two million francs a year.
The endorsement fee of two million a year is really low for a celebrity like Sophie.
You know, the exchange rate between the franc and the domestic currency was almost one to one in the 1990s.
At the same time, the endorsement prices for female Hong Kong stars in China were in the hundreds of thousands, or even millions.
The prices of male Hong Kong stars are even more outrageous. The endorsement fees for the top ones start at tens of millions.
Of course, the two million francs Sophie asked for were just endorsement fees.
If Shinhwa Company wants to shoot a commercial MV or invite Sophie to attend a commercial event, additional payment will be required.
These are all rules.
Even if you find an acquaintance, you cannot give preferential treatment.
Su Mingzhe is naturally not short of money. After signing the endorsement contract, he discussed with Sophie about activities for this year and next.
In the next few years, Shinhwa Group will make a big splash in Europe and the United States, and it will definitely need Sophie as its spokesperson to attend various events.
Sophie calculated her work here and signed a contract with Su Mingzhe for thirty promotional activities.
The cost of attending an event is one hundred thousand francs.
These fees do not include security, food and accommodation, etc.
After all the contracts were signed and the endorsement fees were paid, Su Mingzhe stopped being polite and took Sophie directly to the studio to start shooting advertising photos and advertising MVs.
